Harlic9 1st Gear June 21, 2015 Share June 21, 2015 Farm stay type resort... UK agro farm resort? Not cheap though 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skymax 5th Gear June 21, 2015 Share June 21, 2015 1-2hrs drive. Have to be desaru. Can try the waterfall in kota tinggi first before heading to desaru. Lotus desaru hotel is best for family with its water theme park. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic June 21, 2015 Share June 21, 2015 (edited) D'Kranji Farm Resort. LOL... No immigration jam, no traffic jams at the major malls.... Exotic but quiet getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. Drive around to visit various farms and eat at Ivy Singh's restoran.

TVT Supercharged June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 Farm stay type resort... UK agro farm resort? Not cheap though Agreed on UK farm, if you want farm type stay, with lots of animals to view n ride. Kids will love it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lala81 Hypersonic June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 Port dickson is far man. Bit hard for a kid to stay in the car seat so long. Not recommended. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Turbocharged June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 in the 1st place, i wouldnt even recommend going on that long wkend. confirm chop guaranteed long jam. unless if u move off early morning or go on wed 6th aug. take 1 day leave for that. don forget, the govt has given 7th aug as holiday as well. n also depends on ur kid. for me i drove to PD when my son was 1yr old. made 2 stops though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I am afraid of..... Jam thru out the night. So just trying to see if any of the bros here have some experience to share on the best timing to leave the causeway with much jam.

I wanted to book a weekend stay with family there but after reading the bad reviews, i decided not.. a summary of the reviews: no 3g reception, no wifi, loads of mosquitoes/flies, sandy, lousy room/cleaning service, noisy karaoke in the restaurant, awful food.. nothing much to do..

Kangadrool Supersonic June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 (edited) Been there to recce, but never stay 'cos "not worth" and stayed in much worse situations than this resort before. However, not necessary to stay there for a night if you have a car to move around those farms. Have you been there?

Shorty Turbocharged June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 i guess if u go at 2-4am should b no jam. normally it will start at 6 onwards. but if short getaway, driving out at 4am is crazy. by the time u reach the destination only 7am at most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, if managed to clear the MY customs, reach the breakfast stop I planned still very early leh. Haiz... ya lor think that whole weekend will be super crowded everywhere. But I think further up like PD will be better. At least more resorts there to spread out the crowds. Lotus has no free wifi in the room if you like to surf the net. RM$10 / day. Lobby, I am not sure. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
